Workshops
Working with Culture: Clinical Methods in Cultural Psychiatry
C. Rousseau, J. Guzder and Faculty
This workshop for mental health practitioners provides an overview of clinical models and methods in cultural psychiatry. Topics include: working with translators and culture brokers; attending to culture, ethnicity, racism and power in individual and family interventions with migrants and ethnocultural minorities; how cultural work transforms the therapist; ethical issues in intercultural work; strategies for working in different settings including schools, community organizations and refugee immigration boards. Invited lectures will frame the basic issues of clinical intervention through the paradigms of cultural voices and languages of symptoms, art, and play. The clinical intersection of healer, culture, diagnosis, and therapy will be approached by a review of developmental theories, identity and life cycle variations in migrant or minority experience. Begins: May 6, 2003 (24 hours/4 weeks) T*Th; 09h00-12h00.
An Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods
D. Groleau
This workshop provides a brief overview of qualitative research methods and data analysis in social science. It begins with an introduction to research as a "problem-solving process," and proceeds to articulate relevant questions for qualitative research, and processes for gathering, analyzing and interpreting data. Topics include: positivist versus constructivist paradigms; validity and reliability as applied to qualitative and quantitative methods; conceptual framework and bias issues; overview of different qualitative methodologies and their relevance for cultural psychiatry; advantages of software for qualitative analysis. Particular emphasis will be given to ethnographic and participatory research methods using illustrative examples. May 12, 14, and 16, 2003 (12 hours) M*W*F; 08h30-12h30.
Economic Evaluation in Social Psychiatry
E. Latimer
Economic evaluation plays an increasingly important role in research on mental health interventions, services, and policy. The purpose of this workshop is twofold: (i) to enable students to read economic evaluations of interventions in social psychiatry as well as burden-of-illness studies with critical understanding; and (ii) to provide them with some insight into how to carry out such studies. Topics covered include: the four main types of economic evaluation - cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-benefit analysis, cost-utility analysis, and cost-minimization analysis; measuring outcomes in psychiatry for integration into economic analyses; calculating unit costs; the distinction between marginal cost and average cost; methods for valuing non-monetized resources such as volunteer time; discounting costs and benefits; and burden-of-illness studies. The workshop will involve a mixture of theoretical exposition, illustrations from published studies and from the instructors own work, and group exercises. May 26, 28, and 30, 2003 (12 hours) M*W*F; 08h30-12h30.
Ethics and Practice of Participatory Community Research
A. Macaulay and Kahnawake Community-Researcher Team
This workshop, facilitated by Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project researchers and community members, will address participatory research based on their experiences. Topics will include: participatory research theory; building and maintaining healthy respectful partnerships; developing collaborative project strategies from design through dissemination; ownership of research data; maximizing benefits and minimizing community risks; capacity building and sustainability. The ethical basis of community health promotion research will be examined and milestone ethics documents from research, government and Aboriginal communities will be reviewed. The development and application of the Kahnawake Schools听 Diabetes Prevention Project Code of Research Ethics will be highlighted. Obligations of researchers and community partners will be discussed in the context of the new ethic of respecting community. June 9, 2003 (8 hours) F; 09h00-18h00.
